Touchpad assembly

Abstract

A touchpad assembly comprises a cover plate, a touch printed circuit board, a force-supporting component, a plurality of vibration isolators, and a plurality of strain gauges. The touch printed circuit board comprises a first region, a second region that surrounds the first region, a first surface, and a second surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface face toward and away from the cover plate respectively. The force-supporting component is disposed between the cover plate and the first surface. The vibration isolators are disposed on the second surface and located in the second region. The Young's modulus of the vibration isolators is in a range of 150 kPa to 800 kPa. The strain gauges are disposed on the touch printed circuit board. Each of the strain gauges extends from the second region to the first region.
